Transportation

[edit]

The city of Asan shares a station for the KTX high speed trains with the directly adjacent city of Cheonan, which is thus named Cheonan-Asan Station. It takes about 30 minutes to travel from Asan to Seoul by the KTX train. It can be reached within 2 hours from Incheon International Airport by car. Seoul Metropolitan Subway extended one of its lines to service Asan on 15 December 2008. Two major highways, the Seoul-Busan and West Coast expressways, also pass through Asan.

Economy

[edit]

It is the largest manufacturing base in Chungnam. Samsung Electronics' semiconductor division Onyang Campus, Samsung Display's Asan Campus (formerly Tangjeong Campus) and Corning Precision Materials are located in Tangjeong, and in Inju-myeon, Hyundai's Asan Plant and the surrounding Inju Industrial Complex are active in automotive manufacturing.

Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor, as well as Hyundai Mobis, KCC, and Hanwha Group. In addition to the large factories, Asan is also home to many medium-sized companies, including Sindorico, HL Mando, Yusung Corporation, Nongshim, and Dongseong Pharmaceuticals.

Agriculture is present, but its share has been declining over the years, and unlike its neighbours Cheonan, Seosan, Gongju, it does not have a standout speciality. Rice is the most prolific speciality, with sweet potatoes, potatoes, soybeans, wheat, barley, corn, Chinese cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, tomatoes, green onions, pears, grapes, and apples, and radishes, carrots, ginseng, and leaf tobacco are also grown, but not as much as the previous ones.

The livestock industry is active due to the development of hilly terrain suitable for livestock farming, and as in other regions, there is a trend of increasing scale and professionalisation, with fewer small-scale livestock farmers but more animals.

In terms of fisheries, fishing and salt-making used to take place along the coast of Asan Bay, but after the construction of the Asan Bay Sea Wall and the Sapgyo Creek Sea Wall, fishing gradually declined and salt-making disappeared. Today, inland fishing is mainly based on Asan Lake, and eel farming is carried out in Sinchang-myeon and Seonjang-myeon.

History

Ancient and medieval periods

The region encompassing Asan reveals evidence of early human activity from the period, with significant archaeological remains unearthed at the nearby Seokjang-ri site in Chungcheongnam-do, dating back tens of thousands of years and including stone tools indicative of Old Stone Age subsistence patterns. Additional prehistoric settlements within Asan itself, such as the Galmae-ri site, have yielded artifacts like wooden tools and plant remains from nut-yielding trees, pointing to resource utilization for sustenance and craftsmanship in the Proto-Three Kingdoms period (3rd–4th century CE). During the Baekje kingdom (18 BC–660 AD), Asan functioned as a strategic base for the Yeon clan, one of the influential noble families among Baekje's great eight clans, leveraging its position for regional control and defense.

In the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910 AD), Onyang solidified its role as a prominent administrative center within Asan-gun, benefiting from its hot springs that drew royal visits for recuperation, including by King Sejong, and facilitated oversight of regional affairs. Concurrently, traditional folk villages like Oeam were established in the mid-1500s during the reigns of Kings Myeongjong and Seonjo, founded by the Yean Yi clan as a clan-based agricultural community that preserved Joseon-era thatched and tiled architecture amid the Seolhwasan Mountain foothills. This development reflected broader emphases on Confucian family structures and rural self-sufficiency, with Oeam maintaining its layout for over 500 years as a cultural preserve.

Modern developments

During the Japanese colonial period from 1910 to 1945, Asan's economy centered on agriculture, serving as a key rural area for rice and crop production under Japanese land reforms that prioritized exports to Japan.

Following the Korean War's end in 1953, Asan underwent rapid as part of South Korea's national reconstruction efforts, shifting from agrarian roots to industrial and residential expansion driven by government-led development policies. On January 1, 1986, Onyang-eup within Asan-gun was elevated to the status of an , Onyang-si, reflecting growing urban pressures and administrative needs. This separation was reversed on January 1, 1995, when Onyang-si and Asan-gun merged under South Korea's urban-rural integrated city reforms, creating the contemporary Asan City with a unified administrative structure to support coordinated growth. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Asan experienced an industrial boom, marked by the establishment of 14 industrial complexes that attracted investments in , automotive parts, and displays, exemplified by Display's Asan facilities. This development fueled significant since the 1995 merger, reaching 392,522 by October 2024, transforming Asan into a key hub in Chungcheongnam-do.
